Transat loss more than doubles as it works to complete Air Canada deal
MONTREAL — Transat AT Inc.'s third-quarter net loss more than doubled from the same time last year as the tour operator worked to complete its takeover by Air Canada.The Montreal-based company lost $11.0 million in the quarter ended July 31 versus its $5.0-million net loss the year prior.The push to close Transat's sale to Air Canada heaped on an extra $14 million in costs in its third quarter, including $6 million in professional fees and $7.7 million in stock-based compensation for executives.Offsetting part of the expense were more travellers opting to book last-minute flights — typically pricier than long-term bookings — in a "surprising" trend that boosted revenue per passenger, chief operating officer Annick Guerard said."I think that was an important difference that we saw, which allowed us, of course, to increase load factors, but as well to increase pricing," Guerard said on a conference call with investors Thursday. "I don't know if it's going to continue like this in Europe for the months to come, but for September this is what we're still seeing."Transatlantic passenger traffic — key in the late-spring and summer months when sun-destination trips drop off — rose more than four per cent year over year last quarter to help boost revenue to $698.9 million, up from $664.6 million a year earlier.Guerard said the ongoing grounding of the Boeing 737 Max, which has forced airlines such as Air Canada and WestJet Airlines Ltd. to fall back on less fuel-efficient planes and spend more on aircraft leases, has not worked to the advantage of Transat, which has no Max jets in its fleet."They have been able to look for alternate solutions to replace that capacity in most of the markets where we compete," Guerard said of rival carriers.The $720-million Air Canada deal, approved last month by 94.7 per cent of Transat shareholders, faces intense scrutiny from regulators eyeing the impact of an acquisition that will see the country's largest carrier control at least 60 per cent of transatlantic air travel from Canada.Transport Canada has said it will conclude its assessment of the transaction by May 2, 2020.Transat, which saw a Quebec court sign off on the agreement in August, expects the $18-per-share purchase to close by the second quarter of the 2020 calendar year if the required regulatory approvals are obtained and conditions are met."We're very satisfied with the strong support received from our shareholders and the final approval of the arrangement plan," chief executive Jean-Marc Eustache said in a statement.

Air Canada’s Transat Bid Looks Shakier Than Ever to Market
(Bloomberg) -- After battling a rival bid, Transat A.T. and Air Canada now have one more thing to worry about. The gap between Transat’s share price and Air Canada’s takeover bid is sitting at the widest ever -- indicating investors aren’t confident the deal will get done.Transat’s stock fell as much as 5.9% Tuesday to C$15.03 ($11.33), the biggest drop since early July. That’s nearly C$3 below Air Canada’s offer of C$18 a share or C$720 million, which was raised earlier this month in an attempt to fend off an unsolicited bid from Quebec real-estate developer Group Mach Inc.The tour operator’s shareholders voted 95% in favor of the Air Canada bid last Friday. It’s now subject to other closing conditions, including approval under the Canadian Competition Act, the Canada Transportation Act and European Council regulations.Canada’s transport minister Marc Garneau said Monday that officials need until May to review the proposed acquisition in order to ascertain whether the deal is in the best interest of the public.The competition review is anticipated “to be the most strenuous given the overlap of the companies in Montreal and Quebec markets,” AltaCorp Capital analyst Chris Murray said in a recent note. “The upcoming federal election could also expose the transaction to heightened levels of political discourse, which could make regulators reticent to approve relevant reviews.”However, Murray said he believes the deal will ultimately get the required approvals and will close by 2020.Scotiabank analyst Konark Gupta agreed that the deal will eventually get done but added that the “Competition Act approval could be relatively more tedious compared to other regulatory and government approvals” due to substantial overlap between the two companies in sun destinations and transatlantic markets.(Updates with Tuesday’s share move in second paragraph.)\--With assistance from Divya Balji.To contact the reporter on this story: Kristine Owram in Toronto at kowram@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Brad Olesen at bolesen3@bloomberg.net, Divya BaljiFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

The fate of Air Canada's $720-million takeover bid for Transat A.T. Inc. rests with regulators after shareholders overwhelmingly approved the acquisition offer Friday. In a special meeting, shareholders of the Quebec-based tour operator voted 94.77 per cent in favour of accepting the $18-per-share transaction from the country's largest airline. The deal will narrow the field of airline competition, securing for Air Canada about 60 per cent of the Canadian transatlantic market and helping the company maintain a firm hold on Montreal air travel.TC Energy Corp. (TSX:TRP). Down 42 cents to $64.37. One of the last major hurdles for the Keystone XL crude oil pipeline was removed on Friday by the Nebraska Supreme Court which rejected an attempt to force the developer to reapply for state approval. The court upheld the decision of regulators who voted in November 2017 to greenlight a route through the state. The court's decision was a victory for the US$8-billion project, which has been mired in lawsuits and regulatory hearings since it was proposed in 2008. The Nebraska Public Service Commission voted 3-2 in favour of an "alternative route" for Keystone XL instead of TC Energy's preferred pathway for the pipeline.Cargojet Inc. (TSX:CJT). Up $11.66 or 12.86 per cent to $102.33. Shares in Cargojet Inc. shot to a record high Friday after the company announced a new deal with Amazon.com that could see the online retailer acquire a stake in the company that provides overnight air cargo services. Amazon already uses Cargojet's charter aircraft services to move packages from Amazon warehouses to distribution centres for final delivery, but the deal announced Friday is designed to encourage it to use the network even more. Under the agreement, Mississauga, Ont.-based Cargojet will issue warrants to Amazon for variable voting shares that will vest based on milestones of business that Amazon gives Cargojet.
